Here it goes, this is my plan. My target is to be able to save S$10k per annum based on my salary and bonuses. Then this $10k will goes to invest on portfolio that is able to give me 7% of yield dividend annually. The dividend earned will be used to reinvest again as compounded saving to invest on my portfolio.
The target to save S$10k is quite a tough saving plan for me as I had a very huge commitment for my family. Car loan to service for the next 5 years, 2 children, 1 just started Primary 1 this year and the other 1 is in child care which her monthly fee cost $978 after subsidy. Together with insurance and other household miscellaneous, my total commitment every month is damn huge. So the target is to save $500 every month and save most of my yearly bonuses. Hopefully, it can add up to S$10k at the end of the year. Then I will use this amount every year to invest on stocks or reits that can yield me at least 7% of dividend.
My wife always nag on me to bring her for holidays. So part of my bonus had to set aside to make her wish come true and also treat it as a break for the hectic work done for the year. Lastly, I will update this chart on every new year or end of the year to check whether I am on track.
